Pension reform pushed through, but crisis is far from over
Paris — French President Emmanuel Macron was consulting allies on Tuesday on what to do next after his government barely survived a no-confidence motion, violent protests erupted across the country and unions stepped up strikes.
Macron will break his silence on Wednesday with a TV interview, to “outline what happens now,” government spokesperson Olivier Veran said. “What we expect from the president of the Republic is that he draws up an outlook ... a three-, six-month calendar [of reforms],” he said, saying he hoped for proposals on issues including how businesses could be pushed to share more of their profits with workers.
